The fight against corruption in the energy sector continued. On the evening of April 9, the State Supervisory Commission of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection announced the investigation and punishment of six senior executives of state-owned enterprises, three of whom were leaders of energy enterprises, involving the coal and chemical industries. According to reports, Li Yajun, former party committee secretary and chairman of Xinli Energy Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinli Energy"), is suspected of serious violations of discipline and the law, and is currently under investigation by the discipline inspection and supervision team of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection in CITIC Group and the Tianjin Supervisory Commission. Kong Xiangxi, former deputy director of the Financial and Economic work Committee of the standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial people's Congress and former party secretary and chairman of Huaihe Energy holding Group, was expelled from the party and public office. Xue Daocheng, a former full-time external director of Lu'an Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Lu'an Chemical"), was expelled from the party. Li Yajun has worked at Sony Energy for many years. He made a public appearance two months ago. According to Citic Pacific Energy's website, on February 8 this year, Li Yajun led a team to carry out pre-Spring Festival safety checks and on-site condolences as "secretary of the party committee and chairman of Sony Energy". However, Li Yajun did not attend the cadres' meeting held by Sony Energy on April 2. On the same day, Li Guozhong was announced to be appointed secretary of the party committee and chairman of Sony Energy. Sony Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of CITIC Pacific Co., Ltd. (referred to as "CITIC Pacific", a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Group), which is responsible for managing CITIC Pacific's energy business. Citic Pacific Energy Co., Ltd., the energy brand of CITIC Pacific, manages its energy business through the development and operation of Sony Energy. Its main business scope includes coal-fired power generation, coal mining, new energy power generation, hydrogen energy, new materials, shipping terminal logistics, etc., running through the fields of traditional energy and new energy. On the same day, it was revealed that there was also Kong Xiangxi, former party committee secretary and chairman of Huaihe Energy holding Group. According to the Supervisory Commission of the Anhui Provincial Commission for discipline Inspection, Kong Xiangxi illegally accepted large gifts, gift money, and consumption cards, used his power to make profits for the business activities of his relatives, arranged for others to pay personal expenses, and built an ecological park for them to enjoy; rely on coal to eat coal, engage in power and money transactions, "family" corruption, use their powers to seek benefits for others in project contracting, coal supply, financing and loans, and illegally accept huge amounts of property. Kong Xiangxi, 61, has worked in the coal system for a long time, and has served as party committee secretary and chairman of Huainan Mining (Group) Co., Ltd., and party committee secretary and chairman of Huaihe Energy holding Group Co., Ltd. In January 2018, Kong Xiangxi was transferred to vice chairman of the Financial and Economic Committee of the Anhui Provincial people's Congress and was investigated in October 2023. Huaihe Energy holding Group, formerly known as Huainan Mining Bureau, which was founded in 1949, was restructured into Huainan Mining Group in 1998, and Huaihe Energy holding Group was established in 2018 as the controlling shareholder of Huainan Mining. In addition, Xue Daocheng, the former full-time external director of Lu'an Chemical Industry, was also expelled from the party on the same day. It is said that Xue Daocheng illegally used official cars, illegally occupied office space, incorrectly performed his duties in enterprise operation, project investment, and other work, made blind decisions, implemented them in violation of regulations, and failed to supervise. He made use of the convenience of his position and the convenient conditions of the formation of his authority or status to make profits for others in coal mine integration, mergers and acquisitions, job promotion and adjustment, and illegally accepted huge amounts of property. Lu'an Chemical Industry is a key state-owned enterprise of coal chemical integration established by strategic reorganization under the guidance of Shanxi provincial government. It was completed in July 2020, with a registered capital of 20 billion yuan, and was officially listed on November 26, 2020. Since 2020, the Plenary session of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection has made anti-corruption in state-owned enterprises a priority for five consecutive years. With the feedback from the second round of inspections of the 20th CPC Central Committee at the end of March, more "tigers" in the energy industry were uncovered. China Business reporter noted that on the same day that the announcement was released on the website of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, Jiangxi Provincial discipline Inspection Commission and Henan Provincial discipline Inspection Commission also issued a notice, the former said that Liu Mingjiang, chief economist of China Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd., is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently under the discipline inspection and supervision investigation of the State Supervision and Administration Commission of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection in the State-owned assets Supervision Commission of the State Council and Nanchang City of Jiangxi Province. Fu Qingliang, former deputy secretary of the party committee and general manager of Pingdingshan Gas Co., Ltd., was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law, according to the latter's website. According to the report of the Supervision Commission of the Henan Provincial Commission for discipline Inspection, Fu Qingliang accepts gifts, gift money, and consumption cards that may affect the fair performance of official duties, borrows vehicles to be managed and served, and takes advantage of his position to make profits for others in contracting projects, arranging work, and illegally accepting huge amounts of property. **
